Authenticate This Valentino Garavani

[frency]

Please authenticate this Valentino Garavani Handbag. I purchased it on Ebay last week and when I got it the leather does not appear real. It doesn't come with a serial number, or anything that would give me comfort. I have over 30 Chanel and almost as many Louis Vuitton handbags. I've only bought one Valentino and it was an evening bag.
I am really scared about this purchase and hope that I didn't waste $750. I've never bought on Ebay and I don't want this to be my introduction. I hope I am just a little paranoid and can graciously leave great feedback.
Please Help!

frency, I see your pictures are watermarked LESHENT. From what I have seen and heard of the seller's reputation it is a good one. Do a search on tPF on Leshent to ease your mind a little. The bag you are picturing is the Drape bag. I ordered this bag from Saks but returned it. The leather in your picture looks right to me. I do know what you mean about the leather on this bag. It is very glossy and smooth and is a little "thinner".The picture of the side plate is not a very good one...hard to really see the font. The bag should have riri zippers (my other Valentinos do). BTW, this bag was deeply reduced right around Christmas. I saw it on sale for around $900.00 after I paid over 2K. You got a great deal on this bag! I think I remember LESHENT having this bag up for auction at a much higher price for a while. A side note on the bag, I did notice unstuffed the bag had a tendancy to slope to one side because of the asymmetrical pintuck. I think the more you put in this bag the better it will look. Gorgeous bag though. Feel free to post more pictures if you would like a better reassurance based on the bags details.

Hi, does this look authentic to you? The purple seems a little off than what I saw on other websites(saks, bergdorfgoodman) and in store. But I'm not too sure since the shiny patent does make the color a little different....any help would be great. Tks!

Thanks! I didn't think it's authentic either so I didn't bid. And just recently the seller lowered the selling price. Very iffy.

I wish I could help, but I don't know enough about Valentino to do so. I will say that your seller has good feedback, she's not a new seller and while she doesn't have any other bags listed, her listings look ok.

I would ask her about returns re: authenticity just to be on the safe side. I think if she says no way for any reason, that would be an indication to steer clear.

the bag i'm looking at ebay has been one of the bags i missed when it was in valentino shop, and i regreted it so bad when it was sold out, i love embroidery and flowers. i dont know, i'm not used to ebay it would hurt if it wasnot authentic! t

Hi there,
I am new here,. it's nice to meet you all. Hopefully someday soon, i can contribute with helping in the areas that i know

with this particular bag, I truly need help your expertise.
The bow does NOT come undone, no way, no how. leather is amazing to the touch. Lining seems to be silk?.. and everything seems really well put together..which is what led me to you... What is your opinion?

Thank you Very much.
